Miranda doesn't rotate
Uranus' moon Miranda doesn't seem to follow Celestia's default synchronous rotation - it sails along synched to the Universe at large.

I suspect that there's a bug in the custom orbital calculation for Miranda. The custom calculations are all written and C++ and are responsible for reporting the orbital period. So, it's probably a bug in the getPeriod function of the custom orbit calculation for Miranda.
